Yeah, I agree. I am convinced that Apple is releasing these features slowly so the "next" gen will be the upgrade causing more people to buy it. This makes me hope that the BB Storm will attract a lot of buyers with it's features and force Apple to pick up the pace a little.

Good healthy competition benefits the consumers ;-)

Anyone? Does the latest firmware or the latest itunes block cracked apps?

Edit Poseidon: If you ask about cracked apps again I'll start infacting you. We do not condone stealing software on this forum.

way better than having to wait through each app to download/install and then go back into appstore and repeat. way to finally step up to cydia's end-userability, Apple.

[kadinh]

you know apple will probably wait until they have figured out a way to stop the jailbreaks on the iphone, then release copy and paste and mms....although it will probably be pay per use

[adeel akmal]

again wait for a few months and hope they will give copy and paste in the next firmware update

guess we'll have to wait for the next update and hope apple will give the copy/paste feature in the next update.
Why Apple just can't make it more simple.

I think apple knows that they can't stop the jailbreak problem until they solve the hardware that's making it jailbreakable ((so sez the dev team))

And wow, people are so funny with upgrading by "mistake", how do you do that when you have to go through a series of yes or no questions b4 finally starting the upgrade...

[aonavy]

my phone isnt jailbroken as of right now. Ive been waiting for this firmware to do it. Can i upgrade the firmware and when PwnageTool come out for 2.2 I still jailbreak it. I think I can. I read somewhere u wont be able to soft unlock. they talking about for another carrier? Are they saying tis becase of the update to the baseband?

[kadinh]

one thing that I noticed about the 2.2 fw is now the update all function is back in the app store. I for one missed this and like that it is back. My phone is still on 2.1 and JB but I upgraded my wife's phone to 2.2 last night and I must admit it feels more respnsive and quicker. I might have to upgrade once the jailbreak comes out for it.

[andygev35]

I've been around since 1.0.1, I don't post often, but this WAS a painful read... My comment is this: Having been through ALL of the previous FW's, 2.2 is by FAR the smoothest, most responsive, least laggy FW to date, and is worthy of the upgrade for that reason alone.

Yes, even better than the beloved 1.1.4...

[boe_dye]

you know after a time of playing with computer you get to the point of asking yourself "why update"?

I'm happy the way it works, what's the point?

"Oh Security issues", and "these great NEW features", and "We removed some things..."

Not saying that they removed anything, but sometime features that we know and love are no longer there.

Kinda like certain XP features that were great that didn't exist in the first incarnation of Vista.

The boy at the ATT store made this big deal about updating. Like it was some glorious function that was absolutely integral to selling me this phone.

"You have automatic updates!". Well that's just ducky, i've been using cell phones since 1997 that have been running on the most basic of technology without updating ever...

(unless you count my Moto where technically I suppose you could count that as a custom update.)

The point is, is that updating anything has become nothing more then a sales technique making the consumer think that you are getting something for nothing.

The benevolent Apple is updating you for FREE! And looky here: A NEW feature!

Honestly I've turned off all of my updates for just about everything, and can't see myself going to all the trouble to backup all my apps, backup all my settings, reflashing everything, restoring, yadda yadda yadda, just so I can have the luxury of "Street Views".

@aonavy:

who knows but the wonderous Dev Team! Err on the side of caution. Let the experts figure it out first before you do ANYTHING!

Don't update, and just wait.

If what they say about the baseband is true, then what might be the case is that in case you do upgrade, and jailbreaking 2.2 proves to be more of a task, you might not be able to downgrade back anytime soon or at all.

So just wait.

OR don't upgrade at all until 2.3! That's probably what I will do. Make it worth my while.

So i just want to make sure, I have a first gen iPhone, so if i just use the update thing, the unlock and activation will stay, and the epc.tmobile.com will still work right? I dont mind not have a jailbreak cause i dont really use jailbreak anyways. So anyone do this already and everything works?
